Don't know about your question, but have you tried Google Voice?

yeah, but dont i have to have an invite? not sure exactly how that works.

Thats the same thing I thought, but I just went to the market a downloaded it!
Give it a shot!

How about trying it and finding out....let us know how it goes...

Ha, ha, it was but I hated everything about it!
I just need standard voicemail, but some people love the hell out of it! Give it a try you may like it!
Let me know if ya need help!

R u running Damage 2.1v2? If ur running his latest Sprint build vvm should work. Mine works like a charm... u should be able to take the apk from 1.1 since the app hasn't been updated in ages lol. Just push it to system/apps using Fresh Pre Kitchen, reboot, wallah!

thanks, would you happen to have the link for the apk?

I do not have a link, however if you download one of the roms that has VVM you can extract and push the file Sprint_Core.apk to /system/app. I accidentally removed it from DC2.0r2 and had to push it and it worked. but that rom was meant to have VVM.
Edit: Just uploaded file. (I think, lol first attempt.) http://www.4shared.com/dir/35253414/d223e4c4/sharing.html

Did it work for you? And what rom are you using?

Just installed the vvm apk from damage to the fresh 2.02b rom and visually its working like a charm. Have to which my settings over from gv to see if it'll actually receive messages. But thanks for the actual apk name because I had been looking for the vvm apk under the app name.

Yes I accidentally pulled the apk while shrinking the original rom too as it was not listed in my apps. So i made a copy of the rom that i flashed(needs to be one built off of official sprint rom i.e. any of the 1.5s or damage's latest 2.1 leak) then i unzipped the copy onto the desktop for simplicity. Went into system/apps/ found the Sprint_Core.apk and used fresh's pre-kitchen to push the file to system/apps on the phone. Just reboot and viola! I'm on Damage's new 2.1 Sprint leak btw.

A lil ot but can anyone confirm the link I provided is working? I try clicking it and it takes me to my 4shared acct.

If I remember right it is your phone # (123-456-7890) No 1 before and use your area code.

not real sure about pushing files, all ive done is flash really with my phone. i did the google voice thing, got i tset up and it went well. only thing is i can see the vm on the app, but when i try to play, it shows like its playing, but i cant hear anything. anybody have any ideas. thanks for everyones help

Is it coming out of the era piece or whatever you call the thing. It's automatically setup to go throught that.

I learned the hard way. Called sprint, chatted with them to no avail. i could not remove conditional call forwarding. The kept telling me *720..
It didn't work. *730 and *720 will remove call forwarding. You have to do both if you did*28

hey working method to install This Should Work "Worked for me anyways"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can alway make a back up of build.prop by making a copy and renameing it to build.prop.bak fyi
"the value in build.prop where it says something like VVM=true needs to be set to false, then you can grab it from the market.
just searched...
its about 3/4 of the way down, saying vvm is preloaded, change it to false." "all pulled from another post somewhere"
this has worked for me again after changing up to GummyJar 2.5
ohh and change permissions for Vvm.apk in root explorer just ck them all thats what i did and the attached file has everything done but permissions and placement of files goodluck and dont forget to make a backup & reboot
1 mount system/apps R/W
2 place vvm.apk in system/apps
3 change permissions "ck them all even tho the first two user ones and the first 1 on the other 2 should be good"
4 make backup of build.prop you already have by renameing it to build.prop.bak
5 place attached build.prop "came from Droid2" to system or just make a copy of your own open it with notepad on your PC and edit it
6 reboot should be installed in the app drawer
Goodluck and hope that was detailed enough
this method has worked on my Droid 2 and my Droid 2 Global and someone elses Droid X it should work for you too

Root Access, Can't Uninstall Bloatware

So I'm rooted on my Evo and as far as I can tell I've flashed the stock rom that should allow me to uninstall the bloatware, however, I dont see any uninstall options for that crap like facebook.
Anything I'm doing wrong?
I followed this guide to root and flash. I've tested my root using the "Terminal Emulator" and typing "su" and it returned a "#"
Thanks XDA, I love most of you

You know you need to uninstall from your computer using adb
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

I've installed Android Debug Bridge but I was under the impression that rooting my phone would allow me to do things on my phone, such as install and uninstall what I want.
Could you explain the process more or send me to a link that does?

If you want to do it in android you either need console program or a file manager. Root explorer us the best one and easiest. Looks just like a typical explorer, tap the rw/ro button for read only or read write and delete away.
You have to have completed the second part of unlocking nand. Otherwise your only option is using a computer and adb in recovery.

They dont make this easy do they? I would have figured Android to be very open for things like this, I'm starting to feel like I have to "jailbreak" again, only this time it's to remove crap.
This seems like so much work to get rid of facebook and sprint tv.

It took me 10 minutes total including the file downloads. Its a one time thing and there is a learning curve with any new platform.

Aridon, is there a free explorer you'd recommend? I dont mind buying software, just want to make sure I'm not mistaken before I buy something that is worthless to me.

You get a trial on any purchased software in android. After its installed if you go backto market and pull it up again there will be a refund option. So no risk. I think its for 24 hours.
As for a free one I'm not sure when I first started messing around with android I bought it because people said it was the best. I don't have any regrets.
Just remember to tap the top button for rw. Long press brings up options. Menu had an option for multiple file select and other goodies. its very powerful.

Aridon, thanks for everything, just 1 more question. I bought it, and the program is slick. I went to /system/app and deleted facebook, is that all I need to do?
Cause I still see it in the menu
I may have done a bad thing, my phone just reset itself.... I need a trainer to be with me at all times.

So after that restart, the files I thought I deleted are back.

Yes just go into system/app, make sure it says rw up top which means read write access, then select the file, general an .apk and .odex and delete. Not all files have both and some roms don't have any .odex files.
I'll be up for another 30 min or so and I'll keep an eye on this thread in case you have any questions.

Ok that means the second part where you unlocked nand wasn't done correctly. Make sure you go slow, download the files again because they are different and watch for errors.
The only hiccup I had was when I copied the new recovery and other files to my sd and tried to adb push it gave me some kind of can't find file error. I had to reboot and it was fine. It send after the boot I could go back in and adb the files it must have been some kind if a refresh error on the sd while in recovery.
Edit. I'm responding on my evo and in bed so excuse errors.

Go to sleep, I'll resume this thread tomorrow if I'm still having trouble. You Sir, are a life saver. This is why XDA is THE FORUM for anything mobile.

Good night then.
I know it can be a bit of a pain to do this but I promise you it will be worth it. Things have only just started and the custom roms are already awesome. Once we get the source code things are going to be insane over here.

Got it! Everything is working well. However, now my voice mail says it can not download messages.... Rebooted and it's all good.
Facebook and Twitter Free! Also, no more Sprint crap.
Life is good, again.

Another terminal substitute is Android Commander, out is naturally a file explorer that allows transfer and deletion off whatever you want. This program runs in your pc.
As Was mentioned above, root explorer is the easiest way.

So with Android - one simply deletes the application rather than un-installing it? That doesn't cause problems with the system thinking the application still exists somewhere?

It depends on where it is installed. /system/apps do not allow you to just uninstall you have to delete it. One this is done its gone. Obviously if you delete phone.apk you are going to have issues or if you delete a process that is running you may get a force close but for the most part unless you delete an app like people or dialer you are fine. After the single force close everything works properly.
Some custom roms moved programs to /data/app which allows them to be removed the other way.

[Q] Visual Voicemail unresponsive/won't activate (Nonsense ROM)

Hey, first post here.
After wiping my EVO Shift and installing the most recent version of Nonsense, everything appears to work except that Visual Voicemail doesn't seem to want to activate. For example, if a voicemail is left, I'll get the notification text of its presence, but the message itself won't push to VVM.
I've tried installing the newer version of VVM posted for folks with the Voicemail Update issues described, but it's just as unresponsive.
I've also tried alternate ROMs to test, and VVM appears to work just fine with them (saved voicemails are present, new ones arrive without error). Since I prefer the Nonsense ROM, I'm hoping I can figure out how to get it working. So far I've had no luck - any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

is your voicemail all the way updated? it should be T.5.1.0.56. I know I had the problem that the voicemail wouldn't update and so I had to put a sprint updater .apk back into the /system/app folder to make the voicemail app update. Maybe they're related?

I had this issue on several of the Roms I tested out. Sometimes I would get voicemail notification hours after the voicemail was left, it was very sporadic. I just flashed NFX shift semi-stock new rom and I can confirm there are no voicemail issue everything works fine.

I figured. Maybe I'm going around finding it the wrong way, I plug in my phone as a "disk drive" and then manipulate stuff that way?
Good Idea/Bad Idea?

ah, the "disk drive" mode only allows you to explore the SD card. /system/app is located on the phone itself, so you'll need to use a file explorer like Astro or the ADB shell. Personally, my voicemail problems didn't stop until I pushed the voicemail .apk and the sprint updater .apk via ADB

Awesome. Ok, that makes sense. I guess now I must figure out what you mean by by "pushing" I'm guessing I have to use the CMD like when I did recovery?
I have the voicemail .apk mention on this thread, where do I get the sprint updater?

assuming you have ADB set up (which I think you do to root the phone in the first place...), just plug it in, make sure that USB debugging is enabled and NOT to put it into disk mode. Once you've done that open up command prompt/terminal and type this:
Code:
adb push /path/to/vvm.apk /system/app
where /path/to/vvm.apk is wherever you have that particular .apk on your computer. you should just be able to drag the folder into the command window (at least that works on macs, I'm not sure if it does on windows). You can find the sprint updater in the stock ROM in /system/app. just make sure to reboot your phone after the pushing, and hopefully everything will be working

Yep - that's the version I had updated to. Still no response for some reason.
And I had success flashing the NFX Shift Semi-Stock New ROM as well - for some reason VVM worked flawlessly with that ROM, which is why (coupled with the fact that I seem to be the only user encountering this error) I'm confused.
All the same thanks everyone for the suggestions so far!

I tried and still nothing. Maybe I didn't do it right...I typed CMD in the Run in windows. I copied and pasted the command you typed and the path to the apak file and...got a bunch of info...stuff describing how adb works and whatnot but no "success" or anything...should I even expect that?

A successful push just tells you how much it pushed how fast. If it's not, you may have to type adb remount first to get read write permissions for /system

Something that likely related:
When I upgrade the VVM to 5.1.0.56 and launch the app it attempts to verify my account for about a minute then states that: "Communication with the Voicemail-to-Text server ha timed out." It also says that Voicemail service wouldn't be interrupted by the app re-verifying, even though VVM doesn't actually work.
So something regarding my VVM's ability to talk with servers? Hrm...

Hey guys, not to hijack here, but I have found in my experience that google voice is the shiznit when it comes to flashing different roms and such where you need to wipe your phone... I always liked the sprint vvm, but gv will carry everything over, and have no setup other than to download the app. It took me a while and a bunch of missed messages to figure it out, but now I wouldn't go back. Either way, Good luck getting it straightened out.

you can copy files into /system/app with root explorer.. well worth whatever it costs. I never used adb after i got root explorer from the market

I'm having trouble with the VVM on my Wife's rooted EVO Shift. I pulled the updater app out of system apps, but put it back in there to try and get her VVM updated. The updater starts and says Upgrading Voicemail application, however, eventually errors with Sorry, there was a problem checking for update.
I've tried on 3G, Wifi, 4G and its consistent. I rebooted the phone after putting the updater back and fixing the permissions.
I rooted the phone when we got it, installed the custom recovery, then cleaned up stuff with Root Explorer, not much else.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Hey. Sorry to go off topic but does your plan have to be provisioned for vvm for it to work? Is it supose to say vvm in your bill?
I've never got visual voicemail to work on the hero and this phone but my plan was never for android phones.
Thanks in advance if anyone can answer!

Save the hassle and go with google voice..also sprint vvm provisions automatically..from what I knw it never said anything bout vm on my bill

[Q] APKs won't sideload via adb or a file manager

So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.
Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same
I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.
I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...
I should know better than trying to write before coffee

Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.
1. Download ES Explorer from the market.
2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.
3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.
3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.

are you sure you have side loading checked
Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.

ikingblack, thank you, thank you!
Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...) Thanks again! cheers!

Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!

Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.
I suffered this issue on my dell streak.
It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.
Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:
All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.
I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.
Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.
In my case I did:
(1) Installed esFileExplorer
(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above
(3) restarted the phone
This did not install the app for me.
(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.
(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)
Now that will install fine?!
This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)
but I also can't tell which action fixed it.
As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.
It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.
It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.
Regardless, thanks for the info.
If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.
This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.
Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:
Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.

Your IconiaTab has only a battery life about 6-8h? Do you want a battery life of about 10-12h?
Just follow this easy steps:
You need ROOT to do this and must have a ROOT enabled file browser to make the changes...
1.) Open Rootexplorer (or similar)
2.) Find/Locate the directory /system/app and find the PHONE.APK and the TELEPHONYPROVIDER.APK
3.) Rename the files (e.g. PHONE.OLD and TELEPHONY.OLD)
4.) Reboot your IconiaTab and your finished!

Well I tried it backed up the files.
then renamed them from. Apk to. Old
After renaming phone.apk I kept getting phone.apk force close
Wouldn't let me do anything else.
Thought to my self o smeg
Restarted with volume up and power
Started a lot faster and works fine.
How just to see how the battery is affected as it seems phone apk is running all the time. Due to the force closed issue.

I too had a force close issue where I couldn't do anything at all except reboot into recovery and restore a backup. I couldn't tell from your post if you were able to reboot normally with the new settings.

I gave this a shot just now, and also got the Force Close after renaming Phone.apk to .bak. After the reboot, no FC, so I'm going to monitor the battery life now...

Same after reboot all is fine.

Are you hitting the Mount R/W button at the top? It probably is mounted read-only, and will say "Mounted as r/o" at the top of Root Explorer if it is.

When you hit Force Close, it doesn't come back repeatedly.
